miage is one of italy's largest glaciers. surrounded by lush valleys and mountains, it's a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer, when visitors can get close to the enormous mounds of ice while standing on the shore of the lakes it towers over. august of 2006, a couple dozen people are making their way to the rocks near the glacier. it's a warm, summer day. as they gather to take photos of the magnificent ice fall, a large piece falls off and falls into the water. the spectators are likely entranced by the glacier, thrilled by the opportunity to see it move. but the tourists are unaware that the small break in the ice signals a much larger crash to come. >> it's hypnotizing. you don't realize the danger of being there. >> marco is a new york based glaciologist. he spent years of his life studying glaciers and ice >> the power of a glacier is very, very strong. all the energy is moving slowly. >> marco's work takes him to the planet's most remote environments, where secrets of the earth's atmosphere are hidden

tour in afghanistan, what happened that got you a call from the president when you were stationed in italy? >> my unit battle company, we were in a near ambush and there was 18 of us. everyone was doing everything they could. the majority of the shooting was done by all the people around me, which allowed me the freedom of movement. the taliban were trying to take a prisoner, soldier joshua brennan was shot several times and he was still alive and they were carrying him away. as i ran forward, i eliminated the threat and i grabbed sergeant brenner and brought him back to our line, as everyone else continued to fight. it's difficult for me to sit here alone because there are so many great people that are the reason why i'm here. i didn't look out for myself. they looked out for me. and two great men lost their lives that night. >> gretchen: what was it like for you to know that you had been bestowed this amazing honor that no living person has achieved since the vietnam war? >> it kind of hurt me at first. i read the stories about medal of honor recipients and they're heros, they're men tha
